Abstract
Laser triggered gas switch experiments have been completed to determine the effect of laser parameters and laser targets on runtime and jitter. A New Wave Tempest 10, Nd:YAG laser capable of output at 266 nm, 532 nm, or 1064 nm was used to trigger the switch. The switch was pulsed charged with the Tiger pulsed power machine consisting of a 32 capacitor Marx bank and a 7 nF intermediate storage capacitor.
